"I remember that to graduate from the Shrek Academy's Inner Court, you had to complete a certain number of surveillance missions, right?"
"If such regulations exist, how can we talk about voluntariness?"
Kong Xuan's rhetorical question directly refuted Xuan Zi's claim of voluntariness.
The idea that one cannot graduate without completing the monitoring tasks is laughable; it's absurd to claim it's voluntary.
Xuan Zi's heart sank, and a hint of coldness appeared in his eyes as he looked at Ren Jun beside him.
In his view, Ren Jun must have told Kong Xuan this.
Anyone who has ever stayed in the Inner Court knows this, so he cannot refute it.
Kong Xuan continued, "As for injuries, under normal circumstances, I think even if they died, these students wouldn't harbor too much resentment."
"But what if these are all accidents that could easily be avoided?!"
"As the team leader, despite your Super Douluo strength, you have repeatedly caused the students to be injured or even killed due to accidents."
"I'd like to ask you, senior, is this how you fulfill your duties as a teacher?"
Xuan Zi was not a particularly eloquent person, and what Kong Xuan said was all true. Even if he wanted to refute it, he couldn't find any suitable reason.
Xuan Zi's silence was, in everyone's eyes, a pre-arranged response.
Kong Xuan's verbal output, however, continued.
"As far as I know, just before this competition, an operation led by our senior team resulted in an accident, causing significant injuries and deaths among the participating team members."
"I remember one of the reserve players was from the Star Luo Empire."
"Your surname should be... Zhu, right?"
The audience in Star Luo Plaza all gasped, feeling that their tickets to this decisive battle were truly worthwhile, as they had overheard such a secret.
Seeing that Xuan Zi's eyes were bloodshot and he was panting heavily, yet he still didn't defend himself, they knew that what Kong Xuan said was mostly true.
On the imperial city wall, Dai Hao frowned and turned to look at Emperor Xu Jiawei of Star Luo Emperor beside him.
He had just returned to Star Luo City and was still unaware of many of the things that had happened.
However, the surname "Zhu" is very common in the Star Luo Empire, and anyone who can join the competition must be a genius.
Such a genius naturally has a high probability of coming from the Zhu Family, which was once as famous as the Dai Family.
Although the Zhu Family has declined somewhat, the marriage alliance between the two families has never ceased because of the Hell White Tiger Martial Soul Fusion Skill.
Therefore, Dai Hao paid special attention to what Kong Xuan was saying.
Meeting Dai Hao's gaze, Xu Jiawei paused for a moment before saying, "Brother, I only learned about this recently. Zhu Lu sacrificed herself during a surveillance mission at Shrek!"
Zhu Lu?!
This name is not unfamiliar. As a Zhu Family who can fuse with Dai Huabin's Martial Soul Fusion, Dai Hao naturally knows it.
But now Xu Jiawei is telling him that his daughter-in-law is gone?!
This is not just a simple case of a Zhu Family dying; it's also the "destruction" of a Martial Soul Fusion Skill!
Dai Hao tried his best to calm himself down, but when he looked at Xuan Zi in mid-air, he couldn't help but greet his family.
"Shut up..."
Xuan Zi's sudden roar resounded like thunder across the square, his powerful Soul Power, accompanied by the ferocious might of the Godly Taotie Bull Martial Soul, sweeping across the entire area.
His body trembled slightly, his eyes were bloodshot, and he stared at Kong Xuan, saying, "Boy, don't take things out of context! How dare you slander Shrek's reputation!"
He didn't know where Kong Xuan got these details from, but he knew he absolutely couldn't let Kong Xuan continue now.
He resorted to his old trick, his large hand formed from condensed Soul Power reaching out to grab Kong Xuan, but this time he failed because Ma Sheng made his move.
"Stop!"
Ma Sheng shouted loudly.
"Buzz..."
The hum of the Level 9 Fixed Soul Guidance Cannon as it charged tore through the air, and the composite cannon barrel that unfolded on Ma Sheng's shoulder armor burst forth with a dazzling light like the sun.
This Level 9 Fixed Soul Guidance Cannon, named " Annihilation Star," was now radiating a stream of light representing death along every line of its body.
"Boom!!!"
A beam of incandescent light shot out from Ma Sheng's shoulder, and a terrifying energy storm instantly tore the air apart, its target being Xuan Zi.
Ma Sheng is quite a figure; he never hesitates to act when the time is right.
The phantom of the Godly Taotie Bull appeared behind Xuan Zi, and the hand that had grabbed Kong Xuan was withdrawn. Earthy yellow Soul Power condensed in front of him, blocking Ma Sheng's soul guidance attack.
The Godly Taotie Bull is Martial Soul that emphasizes strength and defense.
With Xuan Zi's cultivation level of Level 98, ordinary Level 9 Soul Tool pose little threat to him.
However, sensing the attack power of this Fixed Soul Cannon Shell, a serious look appeared in Xuan Zi's eyes for the first time. "The power is not bad!"
Ma Sheng's pupils contracted slightly, his heart filled with shock. He hadn't expected that his strongest attack would leave his opponent completely unharmed!
Xuan Zi's strength made him look solemn.
He realized he was no match for Xuan Zi, and for a moment he even prepared himself to die in battle.
But just then, a familiar voice rang out, making Ma Sheng feel as if he had been reborn.
"Bullying the weak, is this Shrek's pride?"
Xuan Zi scanned the area but found nothing.
However, his Level 98 Soul Power cultivation was his source of confidence. After all, apart from Mu En, he had never heard of a Level 99 Limit Douluo existing on the continent.
"Who goes there? Why are you hiding?"
Xuan Zi shouted as he observed the changes around him.
Right in front of him, the air rippled violently like water, and a tall figure stepped out from it, as if tearing through space.
The newcomer had short, white hair as straight as steel needles, a cold and hard face as if carved by a knife and axe, and wore a full set of silver-white armor.
The armor plates shimmered with a mercury-like luster, and intricate soul-guiding runes were faintly visible at the joints. A rhombus-shaped core on the chest rotated slowly, emanating a suffocating sense of oppression.
Xuan Zi had just seen a similar Soul Tool Armor not long ago; Kong Xuan's crimson-gold armor was just like that, giving people a strange feeling.
Without a doubt, this stranger before them was a powerful figure from the Sun Moon Empire.
He simply stood there, and the surrounding light seemed to be slightly distorted, the space emitting a low, strained groan.
Xuan Zi's expression was solemn, and the terrifying aura belonging to the Taotie Douluo was fully released, colliding fiercely with the pressure of the newcomer in the air, producing a silent roar.
Below Star Luo Plaza, the crowd was pale and felt like they were about to collapse; some ordinary people had even fainted.
The terrifying pressure emanating from the two was so overwhelming that it felt as if the sky were collapsing.
Now, they have witnessed what a top-tier expert truly is.
The Mighty Douluo Cheng Gang and the Heavenly Fiend Douluo Huang Jinxu both came to Xu Jiawei's side to protect him.
The two Guardian Douluo of the Star Luo Empire also looked serious at this moment, after all, they couldn't beat the two who were competing in terms of aura.
"I never expected the Sun Moon Empire to have Super Douluo. Just who are you?"
Xuan Zi's voice was hoarse and solemn, filled with unprecedented vigilance.
He could sense that the other party's Soul Power was around Level 97, only one level lower than his own.
The silver-armored, white-haired elder's gaze swept over Xuan Zi, his voice low and cold. "I Kong Deming of the Sun Moon, my title is Silver Moon!"
